Only this version will be set in hyper-real Los Angeles instead of New York, like in the films.
This series is truly unlike anything else on TV, pledged Starz President & CEO Chris Albrecht.
Writer-producer Chris Collins (Sons of Anarchy,The Wire) will write the series and serve as showrunner.
One less obvious but potentially far more meaningful question is whether Ian McShane will have a regular role.
Theres nothing to suggest he will at this time.
But in the films, McShanes character Winston owns and runsThe Continental.
Thats a lot of supposition, however, and keep in mindThe Continentaldoesnt even have a series order yet.
And hopefully, there wont be a dead puppy involved.
